Just a guy who's been drawing all his life.

Hello, all. And Happy Valentine's Day long weekend, at the time of this posting. ^_^

Well, between issues with my computer and marinating over the holidays, what I was afraid would happen, ultimately happened.  I fell out of my artwork routine and it took me a while to get back into it.  Of course, I do have plenty of pics on my plate.  I just have to get back into the rhythm of drawing them again.  So, to kick things off, I thought I'd go with something relatively simple, while sticking with something that was relatively in the spirit of the season, so to speak.

As we all know, Possible women have a secret weapon for manipulating people into doing things they'd prefer not to. So powerful is the infamous "puppy dog pout" that even those who wield it are not immune to its malevolent influence. However, since getting together with Ron, Kim has found another way to get him to go along with something he might normally have reservations about. A method that's far more effective, and A LOT more fun to implement. As you can see, Ron can only hold out for so long. ^_^

All-in-all, I'm pleased with the end result. There may be no background to speak of, but I hardly think the image needs it. While I saw this as a good opportunity to once again showcase Ron with some fashion tweaks of my own design, the idea for Kim's outfit came from a DA member, who wanted to see Kim in a classic Season 2 outfit, only with a slight change in black loafers (don't ask me why, it's just his thing). Since this particular ensemble has seen some tweaks as the series wore on, I didn't see any harm in adding a few of my own. And while Kim is partially obscured, you can still see one of her shoes, so I think it works fine.

Anyway, hopefully, this is me getting back into the swing of things, art-wise. And hopefully, everyone likes what they see. As always, comments are appreciated. And if anyone would like to hit me up for some commission info, that would be nice too.

Enjoy. ^_^

Happy Halloween, all! ^_^

(Yeah, I know it's November at the time of this posting. Shut up. Don't act like you're not gonna be doing Halloween stuff all weekend anyway.)

Well, with a new computer comes a new posting to test it. And this was the idea for a Halloween pic that came to me several months ago, when I happened across a video of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (to this day, still one of Disney's most iconic feature animations).

The image, itself, is pretty straightforward, seeing Kim and Ron passing through Sleepy Hollow on Halloween night (basically, the worst time of the year to be there if Bing Crosby is to be believed), where they encounter a rather infamous figure of legend. Now, could they outfight him? Probably. Could they outrun him? DEFINITELY. But they receive another surprise when another individual makes his presence known. Those of you who know my fanfics are, no doubt, familiar with my OC, Maximilian, and what he can do. So it's gonna take more than a ghost with a sword and no head to put him on his back heels.

All in all, I'm happy with how the image turned out. Not my best take on Rufus, perhaps, but I threw him in there basically at the last minute. I'm happy with how the Horseman turned out, especially since drawing animals isn't something I do a lot of. But I'm definitely happy with how Max looks. I took the time to add a little tweak to his design, specifically having the tails of his jacket dissipate into trails of glittering smoke that he usually emanates when he uses his magic. Speaking of which, I'm also very pleased with the effects I threw in. Definitely something I'll be doing in the future.

Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone likes what they see as I work to get regular postings back on track. And as always, comments are appreciated.

Enjoy. ^_^

[tuxedaaron]

yeah

Well, we'll see what happens.

[tuxedaaron]

miss go in a croptop demni shorts with a ponytail and a green hairbow?

Are you making a request?

[tuxedaaron]

A new NSFW pic of mine has been posted this morning. So, if anyone in the know would like to check it out, you know where to look.

[tuxedaaron]

Continuing my efforts to get a maintain a steady flow of submissions, this is an old request that came to me from a DA member, who asked me to draw a pic of Kim Possible and Jazz Fenton from Danny Phantom in a boxing match. While I was intrigued by the pitch, to be honest, I couldn't picture any fight between Kim and Jazz where Kim wouldn't just completely mop the floor with her. So, I decided to tweak the concept slightly, by having Kim training Jazz instead.

I mean, it kind of tracks, right? While I don't think anyone can deny that Jazz's heart has always been in the right place, she has a bad habit of letting her enthusiasm overwhelm her logic, and it tends not to register with her when she finds herself in over her head. I guess you could say she takes after her father in that regard. So, getting some pointers from someone of Kim's caliber definitely would not be the worst idea in the world.

All-in-all, I'm happy with the way this one turned out. Simple, but effective, I think, and I hope everyone likes what they see. Remember, comments are always welcome.

[tuxedaaron]

As time rolls on, I've found myself starting to run out of ideas for pics. But seeing as how I didn't want to sacrifice the momentum I'd built up over the last few months, I decided to look back into some of the requests that were made of me before I put commissions back on the table.

To that end, that brings us to a request from a DA member, who wanted to see one of his alternate versions of Spider-Man and Black Cat, named Ninja Spider and The Cat, drawn in my Spectacular Spider-Man style. To be honest, I felt the need to tweak the original designs a bit, to give the Ninja Spider outfit a more natural flow. I also gave The Cat a set of retractable claws that spring out and can fold over her fingers.

All in all, I'm happy with how the picture turned out, including the background, which, while simple, came out the way I wanted it to. As for everyone else, I hope you like the picture, also. As usual, any and all comments are appreciated.

Enjoy. ^_^

Coming into the Labor Day long weekend at the time of this posting, I chose to take advantage of the time to tackle one of my more ambitious projects.  Dipping into my "Lesser-Known Ladies" series, I decided to glance over to "Fairly Odd Parents", to address three particular females who were basically used as one-and-done figures...ladies who appeared in a single episode, and then were never seen again...Christie Glamorpuss, Dr. Phyllis Fancyfree, and Carly. Now Carly, (who we can only assume is some kind of model, dues to the sparkly dress she was wearing) I suppose can be forgiven for never coming back.  Apparently showing up during the third day of the Yugopotamian "Five Days of F.L.A.R.G." (the "A" meaning "Amnesia"), was most likely in her best interest While we don't know what she and Timmy got up to during the wild party Mark Chang threw, it's a pretty safe bet that if anyone could remember it, she'd probably be doing some time right now. Dr. Fancyfree, from the episode, "Crocker Shocker", is the one I kind of feel the worst about.  After all, let's face it, being stuck as the therapist for Denzel Crocker is bad enough.  But the way things worked out for her at the end of the episode for just trying to help...well, the poor woman definitely deserved better than she got. The one who I'm the most confused by, for never coming back, though, is Christie Glamorpuss.  Why she only appeared in the episode, "Momnipresent" really feels like a missed opportunity to me.  Between being some luscious eye candy, as well as her use as an info dump, she potentially had the most longevity of the three women here.  And yet, she was never seen again, and to this day, I can't help but wonder why. Anyway, that brings us to the image at hand, which I'm quite p[leased with.  Granted, the designs are more Danny Phantom-style but Fairly Odd Parents-style (with the arguable exception of Dr. Fancyfree), but I have a hard time deviating from my taste.  Besides, it's close enough.  The challenge was because I was also making NSFW variants (already posted for those in the know), and because Dr. Fancyfree essentially has two hairstyles (resulting in FOUR variant pics), you can understand why it took a little longer. Anyway, here's both versions, posted side-by-side. Feel free to tell me which hairstyle you prefer.  Or if nothing else, please feel free to pass any comments my way.  Hope to hear from you. Enjoy. ^_^

Hey there, 👋😊 here's wishing you a Happy Labor Day. 🤗 Hope you're not working too hard. 😉👍

Just on my latest submission. I left it specifically for the long weekend because I knew it would take a little longer.

[tuxedaaron]

If you want to see the definition of the term, "glow up", look no further than the character of Wuya from "Xiaolin Showdown"*. I mean, when you basically go from being a transparent floating squid in a clown mask to…well, THIS…come on, what ELSE would you call it?

(*And to think, that show aired before this term was even fashionable.)

Anyway, the idea for this picture came to me in a flash of inspiration, when I had to be reminded that this character actually existed. And isn't what this "Lesser-Known Ladies" series of pictures is all about? Sure, the obvious culprits to point the finger at why she was forgotten are time (this show IS over 20 years old, after all) or that absolutely ludicrous spinoff, "Xiaolin Chronicles" (which people actively went out of their way to forget). But a less noticeable, yet just as significant offender is just Wuya's overall treatment on the show, as a whole. She went from being the promise of the show's Big Bad, to actually fulfilling that promise for all of five minutes, and then, basically being reduced to eye candy while other (some arguably less deserving) villains were placed front and center. In the end, it's not hard to see why her character doesn't have a lot of longevity in people's minds.

Anyway, I'm pleased with how everything turned out. I'm even glad I went the extra mile to throw in the flame effects. It really makes the picture pop, in my opinion). Though it has got to be said, I have never had the pencil work for a picture give me as much grief as this one did. Normally, when I do the initial pencil drawing, things just tend to flow. But THIS picture, for some reason, just fought me every step of the way. You really had to see it to believe it.

Oh well, at least you get to see this. Hopefully, you find this vision to your liking of another character who really deserved more attention than she got. And as usual, comments are always welcome. And yes, there is a NSFW version out there for those in the know.

Enjoy. ^_^

As anyone who follows me on DeviantArt might be aware, I've been having difficulties with my computer at the time of this posting, mostly revolving around complications getting it to turn on.  Since this means I'll most likely be needing a new computer soon, I was unsure whether I'd be posting this week. Fortunately, today is one of the few days it actually decided to cooperate with me.  And since I don't know how many more lucky breaks I'm going to get between now and when I finally manage to get it replaced, I decided to jump right on getting a picture ready to go, no matter how late I found myself staying up. This picture is actually a suggestion from a more recent fan, who was curious about a scene between Queen Tyr'Ahnee from Duck Dodgers and Invader Zim.  In this scene, Zim is attempting to implement one of his schemes which apparently involves brokering an alliance with Mars.  However, when it comes to diplomacy, there are ways to do things and there are ways to NOT do things. Guess which one THIS is? The look on the Queen's face says it all, I think.  She may not know how these two idiots got in, but she knows EXACTLY how they're GOING OUT. All in all, I'm happy with this piece.  Just having so many characters on the page made it a bit of a larger project, but I'm glad I got it done. Like my previous pic of Chel, Queen Tyr'Ahnee is one of those women that I think everyone kind of wants to draw at least once. Of course, those familiar with my NSFW content will know that I've actually drawn her more than once.  Anyway, hope everyone else likes what they see.  And as always, any comments are appreciated. Enjoy. ^_^

P.S.

In light of Queen Tyr'Ahnee's sauna scene in Duck Dodgers, I see very little need to mark this as a Mature piece. However, there is a NSFW variant out there, for those in the know. ^_^

Surely, this woman needs no introduction.  At a time when hand-drawn animation was on the back end of its shelf life and only a few short years away from being phased out of theaters and mostly relegated to the direct-to-video scene, Dreamworks graced theaters with "The Road to El Dorado".  While an entertaining, if not particularly original film, the movie definitely turned a lot of heads with the introduction of Chel. Most boys, when they reach double digits in age, eventually runs into their "Jessica Rabbit"...that one female who makes them realize that cartoon characters can make them all hot and bothered.  And in 2000, that woman was most DEFINITELY Chel.  But Chel was also a little more unique.  Granted, she was scantily-clad, but she was also built different.  She was more on the plump side than most of her contemporaries, with wide hips and thick legs.  And yet, that quality was more subdued.  She wasn't a "Dexter's Mom" or a "Mei-Ling Zhao", whose designs were out there and in your face and you knew exactly where your gaze was supposed to be focused.  With Chel, you knew there was something about this girl, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it right away, which ultimately made her even more endearing. Anyway, on to the image at hand.  At the tme of this posting, my work schedule is pretty hectic this week.  But for the last couple of months, I'd been sticking to my goal of putting out regular artwork postings.  So if I wanted to keep that streak alive, I had to go with a relatively simple image that I knew I could bang out in just a few short hours.  So I decided to go with a pic of Chel, who I'd been thinking about drawing for a while.  After all, Chel is one of those girls that I think everyone wants to draw at least once.  And since I really didn't feel like drawing a background, I simply cobbled one together, using material from actual screenshots of the movie. All-in-all, I'm REALLY happy with how this image turned out.  Considering that I'd never drawn Chel before, I personally think I nailed it.  Even I was surprised at how good it ultimately turned out.  Hopefully, you all feel the same.  As always, comments are appreciated. Enjoy. ^_^

P.S.

While the movie, itself, is a family film and as such, I saw no reason to label this as a "MATURE" submission, there is a NSFW version out there, for those in the know. Hopefully, you like that one, too. ^_^

[tuxedaaron]

Okay, so I touched up that previous KP pic to warm up for this one. This is actually an image that I've been keeping in the back of my mind for quite some time, but never got around to actually drawing it.

Those familiar with my KP fanfics will recognize this image as based on a scene from my story "Far From the Tree", which sees James and Anne coming home one evening to find Kim and Ron passed out on the couch after returning from a mission. Anne, of course, is deeply moved what she sees and wishes she could take a picture without waking them up. James, meanwhile, is being a typical dad about it and grumbling uncomfortably.

“Oh, stop,” Anne responds with a reassuring tone. “This is no different than when they were kids, remember?  They’d go outside, run around until they got exhausted, then they’d come back in and pass out, just like this…”

“…Honestly, they’ve been sleeping together since they were SEVEN.”

All-in-all, I'm pleased with how this one turned out. Not only am I glad to have this image down on paper, so to speak, but I also think this is a good way to make a statement to all those people on fanfiction.net who are running around, begging people for art commissions (most, if not all of which are talentless AI prompters, I guarantee you). Honestly, it's tantamount to cyber-panhandling and it's been driving me crazy, lo, these many months. But anyway, ignoring my little soapbox rant there, I hope you all like what you see. As always, comments are appreciated.

Enjoy. ^_^

As I continue to press onward, getting more artwork done, I decided to swing back to my "Lesser-Known Ladies" series to yet another obscure female from the DC Animated Universe.  This time, I decided to go with the head of the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, Maggie Sawyer from Superman: TAS. You notice how some of these characters are just doomed from the start?  When I did my earlier pic of Summer Gleeson from Batman: TAS, I bemoaned how she was such a prominent supporting character and that her abrupt departure from the series was rather baffling (though I remain suspicious that the addition of Lois Lane to the DCAU probably had a lot to do with it).  By contrast, Maggie, as a character, was always living on borrowed time.  The fact that she was in SUPERMAN: The Animated Series, pretty much says it all.  I mean, leave us not kid ourselves...boots-on-the-ground, street-level, HUMAN crime was NOT going to be the order of the day, here.  And, try as they might to back Superman up, the SCU almost always found themselves in over their heads, which was never a good position to be in from the start.  But when Darkseid began hijacking the overarching narrative and Dan Turpin was killed, the writing was pretty much on the wall that the SCU was going to be an afterthought, going forward. Which brings us to the image at hand.  While this was not intended to be put out as any Fourth of July commemoration, as I do not live in the United States (thank God, but that's another conversation), this idea of Maggie volunteering to pose nude for a fundraising pinup calendar (albeit, with a conveniently-placed item of tactical armor to cover her up) had actually been floating around in my head for quite some time, so this seemed like as good a time as any to pull the trigger on it.

All,-in-all, I'm quite pleased with the how everything turned out.  It looks pretty much how I wanted it to and I hope everyone else likes it just as much.  As always comments are appreciated. Enjoy. ^_^

P.S. Yes, there is an NSFW version for those in the know. Hopefully, you enjoy that one just as much. ^_^

Hey, all. Say hello to my very first commission since starting them up again. This one comes to us, courtesy of a DA member who said he wanted to see an Elseworlds-style crossover of sorts, featuring Batman from Caped Crusader encountering Superman from the old Mark Fleischer cartoon shorts.

Personally, I loved this idea, if for no other reason than that there's likely no other way that this meeting is going to happen. I mean, the reason Superman isn't likely to appear in Caped Crusader is because My Adventures with Superman exists...which is basically the exact same reason they have no intention of letting Batman appear in that show, regardless of the fact that both shows have completely separate continuities. Basically, they want Batman to stay in his Batman show, doing his Batman things, and they want Superman to stay in his Superman show, doing his Superman things. Why have either one come in to muddy the waters?

But anyway, that brings us to the image in question. Batman is prowling Gotham City when he hears something behind him. He whirls around to confront his would-be attacker, only to see that the man standing across from him is clearly not impressed...and for good reason.

Personally, I'm rather pleased with how the pic turned out. I would have preferred if the clouds were less distinct, but that's a minor nitpick in the big scheme. Anyway, I hope everyone likes what they see. As always, comments are appreciated. Also, if you'd like to arrange any commissions, please contact me for details...

Enjoy. ^_^

Hello all. In keeping with my current run of pics, I thought I'd put out some more Kim Possible stuff. At time of this posting, I actually did get this done yesterday, as intended. I was simply too tired to post, so I decided to leave it for this morning.

This was an image that had been in my head for a while, just of Kim and Ron getting into a downtown nightclub and just having the chance to let it all hang out for a while. Those familiar with my work will recognize Kim's outfit from an earlier picture. In fact, it was actually suggested to me that I use this particular dress when I was struggling to figure out what to put her in. Ron, meanwhile, is serving as an example of how little changes can pay big dividends, keeping the turtleneck/cargo pants combo, but replacing the hockey jersey with something else. In earlier pics, I used a vest, which I still like a lot, but I wanted to give him something else for this pic. So here, I went with just an open shirt, with sleeves you can roll up and strap in place. This kind of leans into the spirit of the old hockey jersey, but adds a certain evolution that I think says "College Ron". It also reveals a particular ensemble addition Kim provided for him in Season 3 that was normally kept hidden. And the shirts can even be given different colors to give it variety. Think Superman: The Animated Series where they always kept the same Clark Kent and Lois Lane designs, but would just swap out the colors occasionally to create the illusion of design changes.

All-in-all, I'm pleased with the result. Some tweaks had to be done later on, which I'm definitely glad I went back and did. And while the background may be simple, it's definitely what I was looking for. But anyway, I hope you like what you see. As always, comments are appreciated.

Enjoy. ^_^ ATTENTION!!!

I added in some tweaks to this picture that I think improve it considerably. How many differences can YOU spot? ^_^

[tuxedaaron]

Well, so far, my efforts to put out more regular postings (in order to attract more attention and hopefully inspire commissions) has been going quite well.  The approach I've devised to put out a completed piece on Saturday, while doing pencil work on Sundays has enabled me to maintain a constant flow of projects while keeping the rest of of my week open to do other things.  With any luck, this momentum will keep going.  As for this week's submission, it's pretty straightfrward.  It was a pre-commission request from here on DeviantArt, showing off Wonder Woman eating a banana with a banana peel on her head (because reasons).  To give the picture a little more context, I decided to include Giganta as well. All in all, I'm happy with the end result.  The background might be a bit rustic, but that was more or less what I was going for.  And let's be honest, that's not what you're going to be looking at, anyway.  As always, I hope you like what you see and any comments are appreciated.

And for the record, a NSFW variant of this image is available at the usual locations for those in the know. Enjoy. ^_^
